that the path Of thy passion shall be marked
out by the blazing of thy towns, and watered

On thy head rest the burden Of the deed, and
in thy ears ring the groans of the dying and
the cries of the widows and those who are left
fatherless forever and forever.
~ tell thee will tear thee, Nyleptha, the
White Queen, from thy throne, and thou shalt
be hurled--ay, hurled, even from the topmost
stair Of the great way to the foot thereof, in
that thou hast coverered the name Of the
house of him who built it with black shame
And / tell we, strangers, all save thou, Boua
wan, whom because thou didst me a service

head vigorously, and calculated, "Can'e be

thou shalt die in yet another fashion that ]

She ceased, painting for breath, for her pas
sion shook her like storm, and murmur,
partly of horror and partly of admiration,
ran through tine hall. Then Nyleptha an
swered calmly and with dignity.
"Ill would 1t become my place and dignity,

Now, as it happened, Agon had been hur-
ried away that morning without his break
fast, and was already exceedingly hungry, so
he presently modified his views and consented
TO marry them, saying at the same time that
he washed his hands of all responsibility in
the matter.
SO it happened that presently, attended
only by two of her favorite maidens, came
the Queen Nyleptha, with happy blushing
face and downcast eyes, dressed in pure
white, without embroidery of any sort, as
seems to be the fashion on these occasions in
most countries Of the world She did not
wear a single ornament, even her gold circlets
were removed, and thought that il possible

she went on, smiling sweetIy on her lover,
and pointing TO the golden snake she had
twined round his massive throat. If my
yoke be heavy, yet is it OF pure gold, and it
shall not gall thee"
Then, turning to the audience, she CON
sinued, in clear proud tone: @Ay, Lady Of

gathered together, by this sign do take the
foreigner TO husband, even here in the face

And she took his hand and gazed proudly on
him, and holding it, stood there boldly
facing the people. And such was her sweet
ness, and the power and dignity Of her per-
son, and so beautiful she looked standing
hand in hand there at her lovers side, so
sure of him and of herself, and so ready to
risk all things and endure all things for him,
that most Of those who saw the sight, which l
am sure no one of them win ever forget,
caught the fire from her eyes and the happy
color from her blushing face, and cheered her
like wild things. 1t was bold stroke for her
to make, and 1t appealed to the imagina ton;
but human nature in Zu-vendis, as elsewhere,
loves that which is bold and not afraid to
break rule, and is moreover peculiarly sus-
ceptible to appeals to its poetical side.
And SO the people cheered till the roof rang;
but "Sorais of the Night stood there with
downcast eyes, for tne could not bear to see
her sisters triumph, which robbed her Of the
man whom she had Hoped to win; and In the
awfulness of her jealous anger she trembled
and turned white Ike an aspen in the wind.

reminded me of the sea on a calm day, having

the effect produced was well worthy of the
two.
Sho lifted her white face, the teeth were
set, and there were purple rings beneath her
glowing eyes. Thrice she tried to speak, and
thrice she failed, but at last her voice came.
Raising her silver spear, she shook 10, and
the light glanced from it and from the golden
scales Of her cuirass.
"And thinkest thou, Nyleptha," she said, in
notes which pealed through the great hall
like clar1on-"thinkest thou that /, a queen
